Los Angeles, CA – Outcast: A New Beginning, the highly anticipated sequel to one of the earliest open-world games, Outcast, offers players a unique experience of exploring an entire alien world without any restrictions. Drawing inspiration from modern games, the new installment aims to provide gamers with unprecedented freedom in an expansive virtual world.
Director of Outcast: A New Beginning previously mentioned that the game was influenced by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, known for its radical freedom and non-linear progression. According to the game’s producer, Andreas Schmiedecker, the alien planet in the sequel spans approximately 64 square kilometers and features seven large Talen villages, diverse biomes with various vegetations, numerous animals, and open-world activities.
Schmiedecker elaborated that the seven villages in the game serve as waypoints, guiding players in different directions, allowing them to assist native populations in any order they prefer. After a tutorial sequence, players are granted complete freedom to explore every corner of the world without any segmentation or restrictions, with no borders or invisible walls hindering their exploration.
Emphasizing the vibrant and colorful setting of the game, Schmiedecker highlighted how it stands out from the bleak and pessimistic landscapes commonly found in similar games. Outcast: A New Beginning is now available on Steam and consoles, offering players a chance to experience the sequel’s unrivaled sense of freedom.
